popular vote Of the prohibition amend
nent TO the Constitution Of the State is
now before your honorable bodies for
your action. In obedience to my duty,
| recommend that you submit the ques-
ton to the people for their decision.
SEDUCTION.
Good government, public morals, and
the welfare of society, demand that The
strongest safeguards possible be estab-
lished and maintained for the protec-
ton OF female virtue. Upon this de-
ponds the wellbeing OF our race,
the sancity and prosperity OF the mar
ried state, the peace OF home, and the
happiness OF the family circle.
The debauchery and ruin OF pure and
innocent females is u crime of frequent
occurrence, whose merited punishment
is scarcely possible in this life. There
is much crime OF this nature which the
laws OF man cannot reach, but il is
manifestly the duty OF legislators to pro-
vide the utmost protection OF which hui
man law is capable.
therefore recommend the passage of
law making it a felony for any person
to seduce, under promise of marriage
any female of previously chaste charac-
ter; but providing that the subsequent
marriage of the parties may be pleaded
in bar OF conviction.
FISH AND GAME.
commend the passage of such new
general laws or such amendment of any
that may be already in exisIe &c, as will
insure greater protection to our fish,
game and fowl, to the end that the peo-
pile may not be totally deprived OF these
luxuries.

An Call.

Grand Forks Herald: a call in an
nounced for q convention of delegates to
assemble ct Aberdeen, on December 18th
to give 0 ''digniied, proper and respect
tul expression" of the claims of Dakota
to statehood. The call is Bigned by no
one and the nature of the movement is
not indicated further than the intimation
that it seeks Immediate admission as a
whole. This announcement, directly on
the heels of q popular election, OF which
the returns haya not yet been officially
counted and declared, cennot claim to
represent the wishes OF any body outside
the immediate promoters of the scheme.
1t assumes that previous action on the
part of the people has not been "digni-
fed, proper and respectful" Let Ms
see. The legislature, without o single
dissenting vote in 1884, appropriated
thirty Thousand dollars for o constltu-
tionRl convention tor that part Of the
territory lying south OF the forty. sixth
parallel. The convention performed it's
work, tbs constitution was ratified at
o popular election, and bills were
introduced in both houses OF con-

south Dakota. After thorough discus

the proceedings was "diginified, proper
and respectful" and had the endorse
ment OF every member OF the legislature,
both south and north. The wishes OF
the people wss clear and unquestioned,
but the democratic house persistently
ignored every interest excspt that OF
sheer craftsmanship. Again, in pursuance
OF sction Of the Legislature last winter,
Dakota has once more, at this polls, pass
ed upon the question Of division and the
majority is from thirteen to fifteen
Thousand in favor of division or the
seventh standard parallel. Ii the vote
by the people, once in 1885 and again in
1887, is not q "dignifed, proper and re-

OF the numerous memorials that have
been made to congress. The appearance
OF this call for o convention in the in

four days after the voters of the territory
h.ss declared for division is to say the
least, prompt and enterprising.
